The Field Note – a Formative Assessment Tool

Summary:

Field notes are an important and effective way to document clear, timely, and actionable feedback to your resident and play an important role in educational planning.

Take-Away Tidbits:

As more independent observations are collected, a clearer whole picture of the resident emerges.  Documentation helps tell the story of progress towards competence and fosters reflections and learning plans.
